Chapter 84 Spell Faction

BOOOOMMMM!!!!

Deak came out of the blast area and tried to regain his balance "[Wood Wall]!" suddenly after he cast the spell a blue bullet shot and hit the wooden wall.

DENG!!

Moku darted out and circled the wooden wall, but just as he was about to attack Deak, a fiery sword lifts above his head and slashes downwards quickly.

"[Sword Fire Weight]!" Gojo came from behind with a giant sword of fire.

With smoldering flames enveloping it, the fiery sword slash like a flash of fire

"[Padakacarma: Rocket]!" Moku jumped away and managed to dodge the slash of the fire sword.

BOOOMMM!!

The giant fire sword and the ground collided, creating an explosion with a radius of 5 meters. The earth and woods that burned to charcoal quickly showed how dangerous the giant fire sword was.

Moku flew and perched on a tree branch. Before he could catch his breath, his inner eye told him that there was danger.

"[Thunder Ball]!" an electric ball shot swiftly from Sean's palm.

Moku just stared and slapped the electric ball. His palm which had been coated by the biofield didn't feel the effects of the electric ball. With the effect of the spring force, the electric ball changed direction and hit the trees.

BLAZZZTTTT!!! The electric ball exploded and burned the surrounding trees.

Moku gathered dragon prana in both of his palms and used his skill "[Brajamusti: Machine Gun]!"

DU!DU!DU!DU!DU!!! Hundreds of blue bullets spewed from Moku's palm every second aimed at Deak and his two students.

"[Wood Wall]!" Deak quickly put his palms together and renewed the wooden wall to become wider and protect Sean and Gojo within.

DENG! DENG! DENG! DENG! hundreds of blue bullets hit the wooden walls, but the wooden walls still stood firm like a cliff against the waves. Until finally the blue bullet stopped coming out of Moku's palm.

Moku took a deep breath, disappointment welling up in his heart.

Not because he didn't manage to injure Deak or his two students, but because he felt his enemy wasn't as strong as he thought.

After hearing Boku's story, Moku thinks that mages are those who have powers beyond human understanding. But the mages that Moku has met so far are really disappointing.

The first mages he met were two men who caught Iathra in a birdcage. The two of them were killed with just one hit, and a sense of disappointment began to rise at that moment. However, Moku thought maybe because they were just weak mages, other strong mages with powers beyond human comprehension might still be out there. Because of that, when Claire was so scared of military academy mages, Moku felt happy because he would finally see the true power of a mage.

However...

"You look disappointed, what's wrong?" Deak who had come out of his wooden wall asked Moku.

"I thought you were stronger than this but it seems I was wrong, these two disciples of yours are even stronger than you" Moku said disappointedly.

"Hmm? what do you mean?" Deak doesn't understand.

"I mean, you can only use the power of wood, whereas your two disciples can use the power of fire, electricity, sword, and earth. Doesn't that mean they have a higher constellation level than you? Are you really their teacher?" Moku asked disappointedly.

"hmm? constellation level? the faction you mean? They did learn more factions than me, but that doesn't mean these two disciples of mine are stronger than me. Maybe someday when I'm old they can surpass me. But it seems like it's just a dream for them HAHAHAHA" Deak mocking his own students.

"Faction? Don't humans gain the power to use mana by converting mana flow into constellations? Then what is this faction?" Moku is confused.

"Huh? Where did you get that old-school knowledge? hmm.. well I'll explain it to you—" "Teacher!" Sean cut off Deak who wanted to explain. Sean really doesn't like Deak explaining human knowledge to this filthy orc.

"It's okay Sean, he won't live after hearing this knowledge. After all, the teacher after this will start to get serious" Gojo replied before his teacher.

Hearing that Sean was silent for a moment then nodded and said "Hmm.. you're right, we already know all of its power. I'm sorry teacher, please continue giving knowledge to this filthy orc" Sean bowed his head to his teacher.

"It's okay, you are sometimes too serious Sean. hmm.. where have I stopped at.. oh yeah!" Deak continued his explanation, "You're right that humans become mages by converting mana flow into constellations. You got that knowledge from the slave girls you captured didn't you? hehehe what they know is only based on fairy tales and bedtime stories, hahaha..

Since the beginning, every human can control mana but it is only passive and only used to adapt to the environment.

Mana in the human body is like a whirlpool that continues to rotate, draining mana out of the body, and absorbing new mana into the body. So we call it mana flow.

However, to become mages we don't turn the mana flow into a constellation, but rather we make the whirlpool flow into the river. The trick can be through overload mana flow or disturbance mana flow.

This river is what we call a faction. Controlling water, fire, wood, and other elements are called the Elemental Faction. Controlling the strength of skin, bones, and muscles are called the Martial Arts Faction. Using weapons such as swords, spears, axes, and others is called the armament faction. The number of factions that humans can control continues to grow, such as the wall faction, hypnotic faction, or reinforce faction that we learned from the warbeasts.

However, the number of factions will have no effect on mana flow, it's like an eternal lake that will not dry up even if thousands of rivers try to drain it. On the other hand, if the mana flow increases, the strength of the faction also increases.

So how many spell faction that mage can control does not affect their level constellation. The constellation level is a classification of the proximity of mana species to mana itself".

Moku digested Deak's explanation, then he asked "Then what makes a level 2 constellation mage stronger than a level 1 constellation mage?"

"Haha... you have fought a level 1 constellation mage, I assume. The two slave traders who were fighting your tribe's members were at a level 1 constellation mage. They couldn't affect mana other than the mana on their bodies or the mana on things that they touch directly.

While these two naughty students of mine are level 2 constellation mages. They were able to influence mana more than two slave traders and had a wider range of influence. For example, if they both wanted to control the same lump of earth then my students' spell would work and the two slave traders' spell would fail.

Therefore a level 1 constellation mage could not possibly win over a level 2 constellation mage. This is because the mana inside everything in this world will be more subservient to humans who have higher level constellation." Deak opened his arms and was proud of his explanation.

Moku frowned, he understood what Deak meant. The higher the constellation mage level, the closer they will be with mana. Spells from level 2 constellation mage will have more damage than level 1 constellation mage because of their closer proximity changing mana to spell faction will be easier.

"Then what about you? Someone who has strength that is on par with Mana Gods!" Moku is getting more and more interested in knowing how much stronger Deak is.

"Mana Gods? ah, you mean a level 4 constellation mage. Unfortunately, I'm still at a level 3 constellation mage." Deak shook his head but there was no disappointment in his voice.

Moku doesn't understand, is Claire's info wrong "Aren't you a teacher at a military academy? Only a level 4 constellation mage can be a teacher at the academy right?"

"Hmm.. where did you get this information? Looks like there's a former noble among your female slaves.. hmm.. looks like after killing you I'll see them first hahaha..

The information was correct, only a level 4 constellation mage could become a teacher. Even so, I am the exception to the rule. You must think that the exception is because I'm the disciple of the strongest human right?

Unfortunately, you are wrong!

The real reason why I deserve to be an academy teacher is because I'm a Mana Child!" Deak said proudly, he was waiting for Moku's frightened sigh, or Moku's eyes become widened in shock but all he saw was Moku's confused face that didn't understand what to be proud of that.

"Mana child? what is it? Was your mother impregnated by mana? Isn't mana unformed? Does mana have a penis?" said Moku while imagining the story of a pregnant woman due to adultery but for fear of being a disgrace to her family she actually came up with the idea that it was the devil who impregnated her. And from fuck up reason everyone believe it.

"How dare you mock me!!! You stupid monster!! You're just lucky to have strength one level above the pest!! hmm.." Deak was angry.

"Teacher, we better finish this quickly! I already want to go home and relax. The air in the Bog forest is too humid that make my clothes feel sticky" Sean complained.

"Teacher, Sean is right. We must not linger and worry Grandmaster" Gojo agrees.

"Hehehe stupid orc, I'll show you why a level 3 constellation mage can become an academy teacher" Deak smirked then put his palms together.

Through his inner eye, Moku saw the mana around Deak's body seemed to be pulled by something and gathered into a vortex. It didn't stop there, almost all of the mana that was within 100 meters seemed to be violently pulled into the vortex.

As if to block something Deak opened his hands wide. The mana vortex in his body suddenly broke apart and spread to a place that Moku couldn't see.

Deak smiled until all his teeth showed, in a very deep voice Deak chanted "[Mana Wood Puppet]!"

Suddenly the entire Bog forest seemed to shake violently. Birds fly in search of a safe place. An unprecedented earthquake shook this serene forest.

However, the earthquake did not come from the land, but from hundreds of trees that tried to move as if they had woken up from their sleep. Strong roots gripping the ground came out one by one and walked like feet, the branches of a large tree moved and waved like hands, and green leaves fell from their shoots.

All the trees within 1 kilometers with Deak as the center came to life.
